Structured Light Scanning

< Back to 3D Scanning & Digitization

How does it work?

Structured light scanning is a non-destructive and non-contact technology that captures the shape and size of an object. While the scanner projects sequential patterns of light, the software creates a “point cloud” containing millions of points to represent the object’s surfaces.

Structured Light Advantages

Complex geometries and organic surfaces

High accuracy

Excellent resolution

Reliable and repeatable

Faster scan times

Applications

Technical Data

Resolution 4869 x 3264

Megapixels 16 MP

Output File Format Multiple including .stl

*Numbers are based on published Zeiss data
